The ultrasound pattern depends on the macroscopic type of haemangioma.
The secondary endpoint was the difference in the added benefit of each examination method according to the macroscopic type of early gastric cancer.
Recently, we have conducted several studies aimed at relating the "macroscopic" type of constraints described here to neural activities recorded in cortical areas involved in motor and visuo-motor representations (Polyakov et al. 2001).
Based on the Japanese Society for Cancer of the Colon and Rectum (JSCCR) Guidelines 2010 for the Treatment of Colorectal Cancer, the following conditions can be treated endoscopically (Fig. 1): 8 (i) adenoma/mucosal (M) cancer or shallow invasive carcinoma into the submucosa; (ii) tumor of diameter <2 cm; and (iii) any <span class="lh">macroscopic type of tumor.
Macroscopic types of EHCC were divided into polypoid type and non-polypoid type (including nodular, scirrhous constricting, and infiltrating types).
Detailed clinico-pathological data (patient age, sex, site of tumor, tumor size, macroscopic type and degree of tumor differentiation) are shown in Additional file 1.
The surgical pathology form documented macroscopic (type and size of surgical specimens and location and size of masses) and microscopic (histopathologic diagnosis, grade, and status of axillary and other lymph nodes) features.
Our study suggests that autofluorescence may be useful for visualizing colorectal tumours regardless of the macroscopic type, but additional study of many more cases is needed.
In contrast to EGFR expression, HER2 expression was associated with more favourable clinical features, such as a polypoid macroscopic type and absence of other organ involvement.
The endoscopic images for each case were examined in detail with respect to location, macroscopic type, size, sharpness of the margin, intervascular transparency, and IPCL-findings including dilatation, tortuosity, shapes and distribution.
Patients suitable for those endoscopic treatments are selected by the preoperative diagnosis of lymph node metastasis, such as macroscopic type, tumour size, presence of an ulcer and histology of biopsy specimens.
